22 After setting up a directory as a Git repo, use tito to manage the tags
23 and builds. A simple workflow may look like:
24 1. Save user preferences as described in titorc(5)
26 2. Initialize a .tito directory
28 3. Test
30 1. Make changes to source
32 2. Use git to commit changes
34 3. Build: tito build --rpm --test
36 4. Finalize a release
38 1. Tag: tito tag
40 2. Push: git push && git push $ORIGIN $TAG
42 3. Build: tito build [OPTIONS]
44
46 tito init
47 This will create a top-level metadata directory called ".tito/" and
48 commit it to git. This directory will store tito’s configuration and
49 package metadata on a per branch basis. It will be filtered out when
50 creating .tar.gz’s.
51 Note
53 Your spec file should list the source as %{name}-%{version}.tar.gz
54 tito tag [options]
56 By default, tito will tag by bumping the rpm version (i.e. we bump the
57 Z in X.Y.Z). If you’d prefer to bump the package release instead
58 (normally should just be used for changes to the spec file or patches
59 applied within it), you can change the tagger class in .tito/tito.props
60 to ReleaseTagger. This will affect all packages in this git branch; if
61 you’d prefer to do this on a per-package basis you can do so in a
62 package specific tito.props.
63 If you work in a OBS style git with a separate .changes file for the
65 changelog, change the tagger class to tito.susetagger.SUSETagger. The
66 SUSETagger is based on the VersionTagger.

73 variable)
74 --offline
76 do not attempt any remote communication (avoid using this please)
77 -o OUTPUTDIR, --output=OUTPUTDIR
79 Write temp files, tarballs, and RPMs to OUTPUTDIR. Create
80 sub-directories as needed by rpmbuild(8). (default /tmp/tito)
81 --tag-release
83 Deprecated, no longer required.
84 --keep-version
86 Use spec file version/release exactly as specified in spec file to
87 tag package.

104 --changelog=MESSAGE
106 Use MESSAGE as the changelog when tagging, this can be specified
107 every time a package is tagged. Useful when needing to generate
108 custom changelogs. This will override the auto generated changelog.
109 -u, --undo
111 Undo the most recent (un-pushed) tag.
112 Note
114 Tito will create automatic changelog from git commits. Unless you
115 specify one of auto options, tito will open text editor and allow
116 you to edit the text. Editor is by default. This can be changes by
117 environment variable EDITOR.

170 build via mock.
171 --arg=BUILDER_ARGS
173 Custom arguments specific to a particular builder. (key=value)
174 --scl=COLLECTION

224 releasers.conf, --all-starting-with=yum will run only these
225 targets, and ignore any others.)
226 --scratch
228 Perform a scratch build in Koji. Can be specified using environment
229 variable SCRATCH set to 1 as well.
230 --yes

233 tito report [options]

252 /tmp/tito)
253 --untagged-diffs
255 Print out diffs for all packages with changes between their most
256 recent tag and HEAD. Useful for determining which packages are in
257 need of a re-tag.
258 --untagged-commits
260 Print out the list for all packages with changes between their most
261 recent tag and HEAD. Useful for determining which packages are in

263
265 Offline lets you potentially do builds you can’t reproduce, normally we
266 check that the tag you’re building exists in the remote repo. If it
267 hasn’t been pushed, it’s quite easy to do a build that will result in a
268 checksum that is no longer the same. This is something you should try
269 to avoid.
270
272 Build and install a test package from the latest code in current git
273 HEAD
274 tito build --rpm --test -i
275 Overriding the default builder to build via mock instead
